Armageddon Shuttle/X-71

I'd be psyched to see the X-71 in Orbiter.

Just as long as we don't have to endure the movie....geez..what a waste of film.
 
please bring it back!!

Oh come on, the public needed to be taught about how the SRBs and tank separate at the same time and the main engines run ALL the time. :cheers:

That version in AVSIM Library is for older Orbiter...to work in new you need to reconfigure it.
 
If you want I can send you a bunch a shots from the movie of various angles of the orbiter(ET and SRBs are stock STS elements).
 
DaveS thanks but no,I'll try with this photo...thay show all more or less...
Who know's maybe I manage to make it...:P
 
I have not seen the whole movie yet only some clips from it on youtube but how was those shuttles supposed to make a rendezvous with incoming asteroid. I think you would at minumum 10 km/s deltav to do a do a rendezvous with near Earth asteorid from LEO. Did they had a nuclear engines in those shuttles?

Oh should have thought of that myself, Hollywood physics can explain everything.

If you play Orbiter, you should be able to see that the physics in the movie are totally innacurate.
